Timex Ironman Watches: Summary Mode

Summary Mode is a mode supported by Timex Ironman Bodylink watches. It allows you to review information recorded in the chronograph for your most recent activity. While in Summary Mode, data does not update.

To enter Summary Mode, keep pressing the "Mode" button on your watch until the words "SUMMARY MODE" appear. Once in the mode you can cycle through the data by pressing the "Display" and "Stop/Rest" buttons.

The summary information displayed will depend on whether you use a heart rate monitor or GPS device while you work out. If are not using either of these, then the only information you can review is the total time for your activity, which is the equivalent of your split time in Chronograph Mode.

When using the heart rate monitor and/or GPS device the following data can be displayed:

Average Heart Rate
Your average heart rate calculated over the period the chronograph was running.

Peak Heart Rate
The highest recorded heart rate during your
activity.

Minimum Heart Rate
The lowest recorded heart rate during
your activity.

Time in Zones
Taking into account your total workout time,
the Watch displays how much time you spent in each of the heart rate zones during your activity.

Average Heart Rate in Zones
The average heart rate in each
of the heart rate zones, including all five preset zones, all three
custom zones, and below Zone 1.

Recovery
Your heart rate change over a selected period of time recorded at the end of your activity

Average Speed

Your average speed calculated by dividing distance by time.

Maximum Speed
Your quickest speed.

Average Pace
Your average speed expressed as minutes per distance unit traveled.

Best Pace
Your fastest time traveled per minute.

Event Distance

Your accumulated distance traveled during the activity while the chronograph was running.

Odometer
Your accumulated distance traveled since you last manually reset the odometer. Since the odometer does not operate in conjunction with the chronograph, you can use this feature to track accumulated distance over several workouts.

Event Time
The total time for your activity while the chronograph was running. Event time is equivalent to split time in the chronograph modes.

GPS Battery Level
The current voltage level for the GPS-3D Sensor displayed in bar graph format. You must be receiving data from the GPS-3D Sensor to view this information. When the graph displays only one segment and you see the battery icon on the Watch display, you should change the battery.

Other Notes About Summary Mode

  • Once you restart the chronograph from zero for your next activity, you erase all summary data from your previous activity
  • If you are wearing the HR Sensor, you can initiate a recovery calculation while in Summary Mode by pressing and holding START/SPLIT while viewing your recovery data
